I've noticed this giant hole in my tonsil that's large enough for my finger to fit in, and I'm also dealing with a sore throat. It's really strange. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?

I'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness when I walk after sitting in a chair for about half an hour. This has been going on for the past year, and I've already consulted a neurologist and even tried some medications, but they haven't really helped much. Some doctors suggested it might be related to an ear problem. Can you please give me some advice on where to seek treatment for this kind of issue? It's starting to make me anxious about going to the office. I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

visit Psychiatrist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been experiencing a strange pricking sensation at the back of my tongue, deep in my throat. It's been happening since I had some roasted jeera powder mixed with lemon water. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt and I can still eat normally, but the sensation is definitely there. Do you have any advice on what I can do to ease this?

this could be pharyngitis,take warm foods,and adequate rest do salt water gargling threetime a day and visit your ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
